*1 If Split Freq is set to something other than "SINGLE, " the low band and high band can be set independently.
*2 Only if Split Freq is set to something other than "SINGLE"
* If the routing setting (p. 29) Master Out is "DIRECT, " the master compressor does not apply to the sound that is output from the MASTER OUT jacks.
Meters shown in the MASTER COMP screen
In the MASTER COMP screen, the "input meter, " the "gain reduction meter, " and the "output meter" are displayed.
When Split Freq is "SINGLE" (single compressor)
Input meter
The "input meter" shows
the level (dB) being
input to the master
comp.
Output meter
The "output meter" shows the output level
following the master comp.
Adjust the master comp's "Gain" so that the output meter does not exceed 0 dB (i.e., so that it does not clip).

Explanation
Turns master comp on/off.
Character of the compressor
* When you change this parameter, all parameters of the master compressor change to optimal
settings for your selection. You can then make further adjustments to these parameters as
necessary. Depending on the settings of these parameters, the resulting effect might not match
the Type setting.
Bandwidth of the compressor
If this is "SINGLE, " the master compressor operates as a single-band compressor that is used only on
the high band.
Volume level at which compression begins
Output level of the compressor
Time from when the volume goes up the threshold level until the compressor effect applies
Time from when the volume falls below the threshold level until the compressor effect no longer
applies
Compression ratio
Attack of the sound at the moment compression is applied
When this is operating as a two-band compressor, you can individually audition the low-frequency
and high-frequency bands.
* These settings are reset if you perform any of the following operations.
5 Respecify the Type parameter as single band compressor
5 Set the Split Freq parameter to "SINGLE"
